September 2, 2012 – SPACE– Chance of flares: Sunspot AR1560 has more than quadrupled in size since August 30th, and now the fast growing active region is directly facing our planet: movie. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of M-class solar fares during the next 48 hours. A filament of magnetism curling around the sun’s southeastern limb erupted on August 31st, producing a coronal mass ejection (CME), a C8-class solar flare, and one of the most beautiful movies ever recorded by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory: The explosion hurled a CME away from the sun traveling faster than 500 km/s (1.1 million mph). The cloud, shown here, is not heading directly toward Earth, but it could deliver a glancing blow to our planet’s magnetic field on or about September 3rd. This date is preliminary and may be changed in response to more data from coronagraphs on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). – Space Weather

. We were told to watch for signs in the sky. I feel that the time is upon us, it will come like a thief in the night. Dying in your sleep is not a bad way to go. With the exception of the rapture, we all know that one day our physical bodies will die, right? Only one thing left now to do as Christians. Whatever time we have left, do everything you possibly can for your fellow humans. Lets shine our light as bright as we can and spread the love of Jesus. What do we have to fear, if I am for you, who can be against you? Can you help to heal a heart by an unexpected act of kindness or generousity? Sometimes works speak louder than words. If all of this were not already pre-ordained to happen, the bible would not be telling us that the heavens and the earth will be shaken like the earth has never seen before. Blessings to all, let the love of God shine in our hearts and minds!

Solar protons get trapped in the geomagnetic field where they are then fed into the upper atmosphere, where they cause ionization of atmospheric elements. It’s what causes the aurora borealis. They don’t penetrate the earth. Solar neutrinos do, but they pass through all matter. I’m not sure about solar microwaves and other stuff though.

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents – Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft – Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio – HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora – Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

Thank you for that input. Very informative for those of us that believe otherwise than what the media will put out. Some may want to say all, but the majority would not listen anyhow……between all the earthquakes, storms and volcanic eruptions, I have noticed (now that I am unemployed, I have time to observe) , those that need meds to control their emotions AND do not ….have been next to impossible. May God bless you through these strange days.

If that was heading straight towards us, we would probably have 48 hours before many electrical grids would start shorting out. Sun magnetic pole reversal happens in eleven year cycles. It’s not an end-of-the-world event. However, in my book, The 7th Protocol, I discuss the electrical energy transfer events between the Sun and the Earth, and how a failed connection speeds up planetary heating.

Well, if yamkin’s post is accurate and I am not qualified to question, we may not have really dodged a bullet. Already, has not this site posted almost one hundred accounts of volcanoes awaking/erupting? How about the increase reports of earthquakes and earthquake swarms?
Families need to come together in this hour and that which is to come. To have a plan to live/survive/protect.
just my opinion…………..

I don”t believe that EVEN IF the CME’s do not hit Earth’s magnetic field “ditectly” , that Earth does NOT get affected. The magnatism surely attracts the protons, neutrons, eons(lol) and whatnots! But nevermind me, I’m a woman in a changing atmosphere, that is probably turned into an atmosoblong……
Hmmmmm

CME IMPACT: As expected, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field on Sept. 3rd at approximately 1200 UT (5 am PDT). The impact induced measurable ground currents in the soil of northern Scandinavia and sparked bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. At the time this alert is being issued, a moderately strong (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm is underway. – Space Weather.
